C-4 PLACING INTO OPERATION
■ C-4.1

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

• To protect operators and bystanders and provide
a longer life to your machine, perform a walk-
around inspection before starting the engine.
• Remove any dirt or rubbish from the cab interior,
and especially from pedals and control levers.
• Remove oil, grease and mud from pedals and
control levers.
• Make sure that your hands and shoe soles are clean
and dry.
• Check the seat belts can be fastened properly.
• Check that lights, indicators, side/tail lights, hazard
indicator lights, wipers and horn are in working
order.
• Adjust the driving seat so that you can reach all
control levers comfortably and fully depress the
brake pedal without moving your back from the
driving seat.
• Adjust the rear view mirrors to give you a good
view close behind the machine when you are
correctly seated.
• Check the parking brake is engaged.

■ C-4.1.1 Checks at the machine start-up

When power is turned on, the moment limiting system
activates automatically. If the power supplied is correct,
the green light above the Terex logo comes on. The
display remains off while the system runs a self-test.
After that, the system is activated and 0 appears on the
display.
If during the test phase, the moment limiting system
finds a fault, it enters the safety mode automatically
and an error code will start flashing on the display. For
any further information, refer to
Also check the efficiency of the safety devices as

STARTING THE ENGINE

• Put the mechanical gear lever to neutral.
• Step on the gas pedal.
• To start the engine, rotate the ignition switch to
position II, and release when the engine starts. If
the engine does not start within 20 seconds, release
the key and wait at least 2 minutes before attempting
again.
• After starting the engine,
slow down the rpm and
wait some seconds before
engaging a speed; this
allows for a gradual warm
up of the engine oil and a
better lubrication.
• In case of engine jump-starting, remove the
connecting cables (see following chapter).
ATTENTION
If the light indicators do not switch off/on when
engine is running, immediately stop the machine
and find and rectify the fault.
IMPORTANT
Engine cannot be started if the forward/reverse
selector is not in neutral position.
DANGER
After start up, the engine continues to run even if
the driver's seat is unoccupied. DO NOT LEAVE THE
DRIVING PLACE BEFORE HAVING SHUT THE
ENGINE DOWN, LOWERED THE BOOM TO THE
GROUND AND ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE.
